Author's response to reviews Title:Hepatitis B Spliced Protein (HBSP) Promotes the Carcinogenic Effects of Benzo [alpha] pyrene by Interacting with Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase and Enhancing Its Hydrolysis Activity Authors:
The manuscript has been carefully reviewed and further edited, mainly literally, by a native-English speaker with scientific expertise. We also made a number of formatting changes as such that of “References” to strictly conform to the journal’s formatting requirements. We believe that in the revised manuscript the usage of English language and appearance of formats are appropriate for publicat...
متن کاملSpecificity of chemiluminescence in the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene to its carcinogenic diol epoxide.
The metabolism of 7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene results primarily in the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene, 7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene and to a lesser extent 7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxetane-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene, from which chemiluminescence is observed. This specific microsomal chemiluminescence has been used to establish that t...
متن کاملMicrosomal epoxide hydrolase polymorphisms.
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase plays a dual role in the activation and detoxification of carcinogenic compounds. Two polymorphic sites have been described in exons 3 and 4 of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene that change tyrosine residue 113 to histidine (Tyr113His) and histidine 139 to arginine (His139Arg), respectively. The exon 3 polymorphism reduces enzyme activity by approximately 50%, w...
متن کاملOxetane Substrates of Human Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase.
Oxetanyl building blocks are increasingly used in drug discovery because of the improved drug-like properties they confer on drug candidates, yet little is currently known about their biotransformation. A series of oxetane-containing analogs was studied and we provide the first direct evidence of oxetane hydrolysis by human recombinant microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH). Incubations with human ...
متن کاملImpact of inherited polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferase M1, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, cytochrome P450 enzymes on DNA, and blood protein adducts of benzo(a)pyrene-diolepoxide.
The benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) metabolite benzo(a)pyrenediolepoxide (BPDE) is strongly implicated as a causative agent of lung cancer. To assess the risk of exposure to BaP, we made a combined analysis of levels of BPDE adducts to hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (SA), and lymphocyte DNA in 44 patients with incident lung cancer, as a prototype of a population mainly exposed to tobacco-derived BaP. We a...
